Susan Sarandon to Stalk Jonah Hill in "Pitchfork" Thriller
Posted: June 9th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com StaffMark and Jay Duplass are planning to re-team with their "Cyrus" star Jonah Hill for "Pitchfork" thriller that the duo are currently shopping around. At this point, the project is only a script, but has both Hill and Susan Sarandon attached to star.
The new movie revolves around a middle-aged mother (Sarandon) of an indie rocker who, after her son is killed in a car accident, seeks vengeance on an online blogger who had peddled snark about her son (on the music site Pitchfork). Things take a turn, though, when she finds out the snarker is just a teenager (Hill).
The Duplass brothers have a pattern of exploring the mother-son relationship in their movie. "Cyrus" was about a son (Hill) who liked his mother (Tomei) a bit too much, and their new movie "Jeff Who Lives at Home" focuses on a grown man (Jason Segel) who is sent by his mother on a routine errand to find that the universe may be sending him strange signals.

Tom Hanks' New "Larry Crowne" TrailerPosted: June 11th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff | |
| Today we have a brand new trailer for the upcoming "Larry Crowne" drama/comedy, which stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. The film is directed by Hanks and is set to hit theaters on July 1st. Check out the trailer below. Plot: Until he was downsized, Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at a major company where he's worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a community of outcasts, who are all trying to find a better future for themselves. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband. The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live. http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=21953&count=0 | |
Shia LaBeouf Confirms He Won't Return for "Transformers 4"
Posted: June 10th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Shia LaBeouf is out there once again saying that the latest installment of "Transformers" is the best in the franchise, despite admitting that the second film wasn't that good. "['Dark of the Moon'] is the best movie we've made, I'm serious," he said. "It's not a joke. This is our best installment. It's our best movie."
If he's telling the truth, the third installment will just propel the franchise to new highs in terms of both box office and critical success. Unfortunately, LaBeouf says that he's not planning to return for "Transformers 4."
"I'm not coming back to do another one. I don't think Mike will either," he explained. "It still is a hot property, especially coming out of the third one. So I imagine they'll reboot it at some point with someone else."

Casting Call: Alan Arkin Joins Ben Affleck’s ARGO, James Badge Dale Up for WORLD WAR Z, Elodie Yung in Talks for G.I. JOE: COBRA STRIKES
by Adam Chitwood Posted: June 10th, 2011
We’ve got a couple of casting stories for you this afternoon. First up, Ben Affleck has tapped Alan Arkin to star in his Tehran hostage crisis flick Argo. Affleck is poised to direct the film, which is based on a Wired magazine article entitled “How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran.” The true story tells how the CIA and the Canadian government teamed up to rescue six U.S. diplimats who had been taken hostage by Iranians in 1979. The CIA developed a ruse that involved convincing the Iranians that the diplomats were a Hollywood film crew scouting locations for a movie called “Argo.” Variety reports that Arkin will play a Hollywood producer who’s an O.S.S. veteran and is described as “equal parts bookie and rabbi.” George Clooney and Grant Heslov are producing.Additionally, James Badge Dale (The Pacific) is in negotiations to join Brad Pitt in Marc Forster’s World War Z. The film is based on the book of the same name which details the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse from the perspective of survivors as varied as mercenaries, US government officials, and impoverished Palestinians. Showblitz reports that Dale will play an American soldier trying to convince the authorities of the danger the zombies pose, and he joins Mireille Enos (The Killing) and possibly Anthony Mackie in the flick which starts production this summer. Hit the jump for the casting news of Elodie Yung in G.I. Joe 2. and a synopsis of the book World War Z. http://collider.com/alan-arkin-argo-james-badge-dale-world-war-z-elodie-yung-g-i-joe-2/95888/
